My front number plate clashed with my headlight over the weekend completely smashing it. I am now in search of an original replacement if possible.

16h drive side drain hole

Submitted by david_brignell on Sat, 03/10/2020

On the drive side crankcase there is a small hole behind the main bearings, at 6 o'clock, which doesn't appear to be threaded (see pics).  Is this a drain hole?  There is also a groove in the crankcase above the hole with a small channel. Unfortunately the inner part of the channel has cracked off, will this be detrimental to the lubrication of the mains bearings. Thanks.

Spares from India, clutch plates

I’m building a WD 16h and am thinking of buying clutch plates from India, from the pictures they seem ok, although the steel has a grey look which to me indicates it may not be of the best quality, has anyone tried these plates out? and in general what sort of quality are spares from India? Thanks Ash 

Petrol Tank Chrome Plating

I have a 1949 ES2 that was restored but the petrol tank was not chromed. I believe they stopped chroming them in 1953. It has very nice paint, striping, logo, and decal on it however. Does anyone know if it is possible to partially chrome a tank saving the paint on the sides and top or must you start all over and strip it down. I think the answer is going to be to start all over.Thank you for any replies.

1946/7 16H parts list

Hi there

I wondered whether some kind soul could point me in  the direction of a parts list primarily for the motor of a 16H I have. I have parts of two engines (47 and 49) and want to find out what bits I need to hunt for to complete one of them. Both motors have the large parts but lack the internal small parts. Frame is 1946. It it quite difficult to check what is missing without an exploded diagram.

Thanks in advance

Dominic

 

Am I expecting too much

Hi ladies and gents,

Sorry for the slightly odd request but bear with me.

I'm 54 and so missed the era when Brit bikes were  the normal day to day transport but oddly I loved them at 18 when jap bikes were the choice of the young. 

Norton es2 1949 Greasing

I am a new member/owner. 

Just need a little advise on feeding the grease nipples. I have tried with a standard gun and even though the nipple is clear the grease gun will not seal and the grease just pumps out of the side of the nozzle where it connects to the nipple. Can anyone advise on maybe the correct gun or greasing attachment to use. Thanks Dave.
